Life of Pi (Encore Screening)
By Yann Martel, adapted by Lolita Chakrabarti
Directed by Max Webster
Synopsis
★★★★★ ‘It will make you believe in theatre. A triumph.’ – Sunday Times
★★★★★ ‘Puppetry, projection and magic combine to stunning effect in a superlative stage adaptation.’ – The Stage
★★★★ ‘Extraordinary. One of the most visually stunning shows I have ever seen.’ – Time Out
Puppetry, magic and storytelling combine in a unique, Olivier Award-winning stage adaptation of the best-selling novel.
After a cargo ship sinks in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean, a 16-year-old boy named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with four other survivors—a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan and a Royal Bengal tiger. Time is against them, nature is harsh, who will survive?
Filmed live in London’s West End and featuring state-of-the-art visuals, the epic journey of endurance and hope is bought to life in a breath-taking new way for cinemas screens.
